Everyone was surprised—no one expected Mr. Reid to speak with such cold indifference, let alone about this.
Selina rested her chin on one hand. "Mrs. Reid, are you curious what Mr. Reid just told me?"
The imposter stiffened. "He…"
"He talked about your marriage. I found it so interesting. Don't you want to hear what he said?"
They were sitting in the lounge area. Guests came and went, and many overheard Selina's question. Their curiosity was piqued—why did Mr. Reid and Mrs. Reid get married? What triggered it? Not many people knew. Now, everyone stopped to listen.
The imposter forced a smile. "It's all in the past. Nothing worth repeating."
"That's true. Since Mrs. Reid lived through it, hearing her own story again must be dull."
Selina nodded in agreement—then, just as the imposter was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Selina added, "But there are a few little details I'm dying to know. Maybe Mrs. Reid could clear them up for me?"
